I´ve been reading At The Mountains of Madness by H.P. Lovecraft.
The first 50 or so pages are very good and I was very excited about the book, but lately the story is so boooooooring! 20 or 30 pages with useless descriptions of EVERYTHING?? For what? To make me sleep, I guess... Hope things improve, otherwise its just another disapointment. Like Urgeok, I think there isn´t many good horror writers, let´s face it... |

One of my only gripes with Lovecraft. Fantastic author IMO, but he can really get lost in descrption.

just finished Keene's THE RISING and i can see the complaint about it being very straightforward. that said i really enjoyed it and even was late to work on friday because i HAD to finish the last chapter (which was a cliffhanger - DAMNIT!) i agree with Noct- i liked the characters and found the action moved along at a rapid clip (ok- at times a bit irrationally rapid but i can see the whole chaos and insanity leading to crazy decisions).
am off to the mall today to try and find City of The Dead - I'm also looking forward to the new Keene novel _THE GHOUL_ which should be out sometime really soon.

Well I've started "I'm the vampire, That's why" By Michele Bradsley...not too bad...but not great either. |

he gets a little frilly around the edges - more than necessary .. but still decent. |
